Can't get Flixel preloader working via flash IDE

I'm currently trying to work with flixel library via Flash IDE.

Everything is okay except the preloader - it just doesn't work.

I suppose the flash IDE does not support the directive [Frame(factoryClass="Preloader")], which flixel uses when being compiled in flex builder to create a preloader.

Any way to get the flixel preloader working with ide (without modifying fli开发者_运维知识库xel sources)?

UPD: Also, i want to avoid using frames.

The [Frame] metdata tag is ignored by the Flash IDE compiler, but all that instruction does is to place all the code with the exception of the Preloader class (in your example, or whatever is the defined 'factoryClass') onto the second frame. Since you have a timeline right there in the Flash IDE, you can put the instantiation of the Preloader class definition into the first frame for yourself, and add the rest of the code onto the second frame. Remember to put a stop on the second frame.

Alternatively, and probably a better solution, is to get a copy of Flash Builder, FDT or Flash Develop, all of which should respect your [Frame] metadata, or can very easily with the right flags.

More information about the [Frame] metadata can be found here: http://www.bit-101.com/blog/?p=946 (which is probably where Flixel got the idea from in the first place). Hope this helps.
